As much as I love art and have always been "artsy" I had never taken any formal art lessons.

My good friend Lena is a fabulous artist and had an opening in her art class 3 years ago.

I filled that empty seat and the still life you see was my first graphite drawing.

The photo was color, and because I was a true novice, I had no idea that trying to draw in black and white from a color print was a bit of a jump for a first lesson. Ignorance is bliss!also, Lena never once said that it would be hard or a stretch and neither did any of the other students. It just goes to show that if we act as though something is perfectly doable it can be.

glad you stopped by

Welcome to my art space. It's all about the art, crafts and photographs that slip out through my hands. You will find very little text here. I want you to use your own imagination. Create what you want to experience. Perhaps it will inspire you to let something slip out through your own hands.
